Concubine's true colors

Chapter 697

The rather imposing carriage of the Third Prince's Mansion was walking on the streets of the imperial capital, and the people along the road gave way one after another and bowed in salute.

It wasn't until the carriage was far away that everyone would straighten up from the ceremony and continue walking.

After living in Beirong for half a month, Xiao Jinxuan discovered that this snowy country is far from what the rumors said. Both men and women are extremely barbaric, naturally belligerent, and have no manners.

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan felt that the Beirong people were extremely strict in respect and order, and the royal family was an existence that absolutely needed respect in the eyes of the common people.

The Beirong people are indeed brave and true, but they are extremely hospitable.

Even if they don't know each other, they can always help each other out of kindness, and they can chat with each other when they get together, but there is a sense of simplicity in it.

For Xiao Jinxuan, who fell in love with Beirong more and more, and even gradually integrated into it, she not only started to drink horse milk tea as the Romans did, but also learned to ride a horse.

Even drawing the bow and archery, under the careful teaching of Xiao Yunyan, a good master, he learned it well.

It's just that Xiao Jinxuan's accuracy is a bit poor, so far she hasn't even shot a rabbit, let alone a bird of prey.

And half a month is enough time for Xiao Jinxuan to completely heal the wind and cold while adapting to the customs of Beirong.

Now that her body has completely recovered, Xiao Jinxuan, who has never forgotten to find her origin as soon as possible, is sitting in the carriage and rushing to the residence of Princess Zhen Guo, accompanied by Xiao Yunyan.

Because I know that Xiao Jinxuan has no foundation and no influence in Beirong.

Therefore, Emperor Qi asked Xiao Yunyan to help Xiao Jinxuan find out what happened 16 years ago as soon as possible without delaying the government affairs.

And looking at Xiao Jinxuan who was quietly sitting by the window of the carriage, gazing at the street scene outside, Xiao Yunyan broke the silence and said first:
"Jinxuan is going to the princess mansion this time, we must seize the opportunity and try our best to convince my aunt that you are her real daughter. If one fails, the power in my aunt's hands is no joke If she gets angry at that time, even my royal father may not be able to protect you."

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan sitting up straight and looking over, Xiao Yunyan couldn't help laughing wryly and continued:
"That day when you first met Emperor Father, the reason why the other party ordered you to be formally conferred the title of princess, but he was unwilling to help you on the surface, is actually something he has no choice. Auntie has 40 soldiers and horses in the Zhenguo Army, even if it is The royal father had to be afraid. Now that Xiao Mingzhu is about to marry Yao Mingyuan of the Marquis of Ding'an, this move will easily lead to a close relationship between the aunt and the Dingyao family, which the royal father does not want to see, otherwise the two families will be married. The total strength of the army may even exceed one million. Therefore, regarding the matter of the true and false princess, the emperor is afraid that the aunt will think that this is a trick he deliberately sabotaged the marriage of the two families behind the scenes. Instead of helping you, he will ask the aunt to be there Suspicious, questioning your identity even more can only be counterproductive."

Xiao Jinxuan used to be in charge of the entire harem of Dazhou, and even participated in the government affairs.

Perhaps Xiao Xiaoyunyan's words would make ordinary noble daughters, even royal nobles, feel confused.

But Xiao Jinxuan knew everything about it, and immediately understood the stakes.

After all, as an emperor, it is unavoidable that there are many parties in the court, but it must be maintained at a balanced point.

And the marriage contract between Xiao Mingzhu and the young master of the Yao family has obviously broken the degree of mutual protection and restriction of all parties.

Therefore, if Emperor Qi gave Xiao Jinxuan too much help at this meeting, he would even personally go to Princess Zhen, the princess, to clarify the matter of the true and false princess.

At that time, Xiao Fengxi would only feel that Emperor Qi had planned this for a long time, in order to make Xiao Mingzhu lose her status as a princess and not be able to marry into Ding'anhoufu.

If Xiao Fengxi really thought about it this way, then not only Xiao Jinxuan would not want to admit her mother so easily.

Even Emperor Qi and his own sister would create a gap, pushing the other party to the side closer to the Yao family, this result is indeed extremely bad.

Xiao Jinxuan, who thought of all these clearly in an instant, saw that Xiao Yunyan was still eager to explain more carefully, she immediately said with a gentle smile:
"Brother Wang, I don't need to say anything. I have already understood everything. In fact, the emperor's uncle wants you to try your best to help me find my identity. He also hopes that this will make it difficult for Princess Zhenguo's mansion and Marquis Anding's mansion to get married. You don't have to worry about me. I will feel uncomfortable being used. After all, standing in the position of my uncle as emperor, I should start with the overall situation. And I was going to find out the truth about the baby change back then, and Jinxuan would be happy if I could help my uncle relieve him of a big worry. to the end."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan not only quickly figured out the pros and cons, but also drew inferences from one instance, and even speculated about Emperor Qi's real thoughts and plans.

After Xiao Yunyan was stunned for a moment, he immediately shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"I said sister, you really cast yourself as a daughter by mistake. If you were a man, you must be a marquis and a minister, and you will not be able to build a great career. But fortunately, your brother and I are not pedantic people. The emperor allowed the emperor's aunt to enter The court listens to the government, and when I inherit the throne, I will also have your right, Xu Jinxuan. I can't waste this farsighted and talented person like you, otherwise it will be a loss for my Beirong dynasty."

What Xiao Yunyan said was extremely serious, but Xiao Jinxuan on the side was amused.

They are cousins, because of Xiao Yunyan's care and protection, they can also keep the bottom line in their hearts.

She didn't bring any pressure or discomfort to Xiao Jinxuan because of her good feelings, so she got along very well.

And they chatted with each other in a relaxed atmosphere, and after a stick of incense, the Princess Zhenguo's mansion also arrived.

Looking at a street covering an area, you can't see the end even if you look up, it's like a magnificent princess mansion like a palace.

This time, Xiao Jinxuan deeply realized how lofty and unique her biological mother, the Eldest Princess, is in Beibei.

Xiao Yunyan got out of the carriage first, and went to the gate of the mansion to ask someone to go in and report.

And after Xiao Jinxuan was supported by Ziying to get off the horse, it didn't take long to see Fang Yu, Xiao Fengxi's close aunt, and she greeted her personally with a smile on her face.

But when Fang Yu smiled, when he saw Xiao Jinxuan, his expression turned cold in an instant, and even his voice revealed a chill.

"Why didn't the third prince come in directly? His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has already stated that when His Highness arrives here, it will be like returning to his own home. Why do you need to report to others? It's cold and the road is slippery. You can go in with your slaves."

After Fang Yu said this, he immediately led the way, and when Xiao Yunyan smiled lightly, he wanted Xiao Jinxuan to step into the princess mansion first.

However, Fang Yu turned his right hand into a knife, and slashed down on Xiao Jinxuan's shoulder fiercely.

Fang Yu has been able to serve Xiao Fengxi's side for many years, and is able to protect the other party's safety. It is conceivable that her martial arts are naturally not weak.

So she made a sudden attack, not to mention that Xiao Jinxuan couldn't avoid it at all, even Ziying and Xiao Yunyan didn't have time to stop it because of the sudden incident.

It was also thanks to Xiao Jinxuan's tenacity of will that had been honed long ago through suffering and suffering. This severe pain seemed to shatter her collarbone, but she just let out a muffled grunt and forcibly held on.

But this time Ziying didn't do it anymore, and immediately clenched the dagger with her.

Without saying a word, no matter what Princess Zhenguo's mansion is here, he just beckoned to Fang Yu and killed him viciously.

Just now Xiao Jinxuan would rather bear it than cry out for pain, but she doesn't want to make a big fuss in front of the mansion, which will only have a bad impact on the princess mansion.

After all, Xiao Jinxuan was protecting the face of Xiao Fengxi, the biological mother, so she watched Ziying and Fang Yu fight together.

She doesn't know martial arts at all, so naturally she can't separate the two, but Xiao Jinxuan still clutched her right collarbone, and ordered loudly to the frightened guard:
"What are you still doing in a daze, shut the door of the mansion tightly, if things get serious today, then you won't be able to do business by then."

After being yelled at by Xiao Jinxuan, the doorman could be regarded as having the backbone, and hurriedly obeyed.

But just now Fang Yu made a move on Xiao Jinxuan, and there was a clever servant on the other side, who hurried to report to Xiao Fengxi.

So it didn't take long to see Xiao Fengxi's face full of anger, accompanied by a group of maidservants, and rushed over in a mighty manner.

When they got close, they saw a bloodstain on Ziying's arm, and Fang Yu's mouth was also stained with blood. It was obvious that they didn't get any cheap from each other, and they fought evenly.

Immediately, while Xiao Fengxi scolded the two to stop quickly, she also walked quickly to Xiao Jinxuan's side.

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan's hand covering her collarbone, her forehead hurting and she was sweating.

For no reason, Xiao Fengxi felt extremely uncomfortable, and there was even a feeling of wishing to suffer for her.

"Jinxuan, is your child seriously injured? Fang Yu just indulged Mingzhu too much. She is Mingzhu's nanny. Last time Mingzhu was humiliated in Yunyan's mansion, Fang Yu thought she was angry, but now she treats you Make a move. I'm going to announce that the imperial doctor came to see your injury, and even caused you to be injured in my mansion. This princess will definitely punish this matter severely."

Following Xiao Fengxi's words, Fang Yu had already stepped aside, and although Ziying was still fighting, Xiao Jinxuan also called the other party back in time.

And looking at Xiao Fengxi's worried expression, although Xiao Jinxuan's collarbone still hurts badly, her heart is sweet.

Because she could be cared so much by her biological mother, Xiao Jinxuan even had a strange thought that some injuries are worth it.

And when Xiao Jinxuan recovered from the happiness of being cared for, she smiled lightly and comforted Xiao Fengxi instead.

"Your Royal Highness, don't worry. Although I still hurt a little when I was hit here, I think the bones are not hurt. If possible, I would like to ask Brother Yunyan to accompany me to rest for a while. As for Aunt Fang Yu, she is also a nurse. The Lord is eager. Since Ziying did nothing wrong in beating Princess Mingzhu, then why is Auntie wrong? So forget about it, and I don’t want to cause trouble because of myself.”

Xiao Jinxuan has said so, Xiao Fengxi and Fang Yu still have a deep bond, and in fact, they are reluctant to kill and punish each other severely.

And when the matter was settled, Xiao Jinxuan went down to rest accompanied by Ziying and Xiao Yunyan.

But as soon as she left the crowd, Xiao Jinxuan who was walking on the road turned cold. The gentle smile she had just faced Xiao Fengxi just now disappeared, and she said with a look of planning in her eyes:

"Brother Wang seems to want to trouble you to find out the details of Fang Yu. Since she was the one who fled to Yangzhou with me in her arms 16 years ago, the wrong holding of the baby must be directly related to her. And she knows that I am now a princess. She is different from Ziying. The old man next to the eldest princess is so unreasonable to attack me. Her reaction is too extreme. After all, she is Xiao Mingzhu's nanny, not The biological mother risked losing her head by attacking the princess, but she also wanted to vent her anger on Xiao Mingzhu, no matter how you think about it, it is really abnormal."
